The boundary between two air masses is called a front. A warm front develops when a warm air mass pushes against a cold air mass. Rain usually occurs in a warm front and if temperature is low enough, snow falls.

Is it true the border between 2 air masses may be either cold or warm fronts?
Yes. If a warm air mass moves into a cold air mass it creates a warm front. When the opposite happens it forms a cold front.
What weather is formed when two air masses combine?
when 2 air masses combine the colder one is forced under the warmer one because of density differences. there are usually thunderstorms on fronts
What type of front forms when a warm air mass is trapped by 2 cold air masses?
Stationary Front
What is formed when two air masses of different temperature meet?
* The point where these two air masses meet is called a front. * If cold air advances and pushes away the warm air, it forms a cold front. * When warm air advances, it rides up over the denser, cold air mass to form a warm front. * If neither air mass advances, it forms a stationary front.
What happens during the life cycle of a starwith one stellar mass?
a star with 2-3 stellar masses would become a red supergiant then a supernova and then become a neutron star.
What happens at the boundary between 2 air masses?
A front forms when 2 air masses meet.
Area where 2 types of air masses meet?
A "front".
What does front mean in science terms?
A boundary between 2 air masses of different density moisture or temperature is a front.
Where are clouds most likely to form?
Rainy unsettled weather forms when two air fronts meet each other. One air front is usually cold air and the other has warmer air. When these air masses meet head on it is likely there will be a thunderstorm.
Is it true the border between 2 air masses may be either cold or warm fronts?
Yes. If a warm air mass moves into a cold air mass it creates a warm front. When the opposite happens it forms a cold front.
What happens to a warm air mass at an occluded front?
OK first of all I know you guys have got this question from K12.But anyway here is the answer:Sometimes warm air masses can get caught between 2 cold fronts which can for
What is similar between the 2 kinds of maritime air masses?
i dont know
2 main characteristics used to classify air masses?
temperature and mostiure
What happens when 2 objects collide and have different masses?
it depends what two elements are colliding
What weather is formed when two air masses combine?
when 2 air masses combine the colder one is forced under the warmer one because of density differences. there are usually thunderstorms on fronts
What are 2 types of air masses that affect Wisconsin?
One of it is continental polar(cP)
How does a tornado form?
Most tornadoes form in thunderstorms. When the cT and cP air masses meet they create instability in the atmosphere. As the cT air mass start to go up the cP air mass (basically the air) within the updraft tilts the circulating air from horizontal to vertical. The area of the rotation can be 2-6 miles wide and can extend through out the storm.
